On September 28, 2025, Russia launched one of its most brazen assaults yet on Ukraine, sending nearly 600 drones and dozens of missiles against cities across the country in a nightmarish, coordinated barrage. This was not a one-off skirmish or a propaganda stunt — it was a full-scale attempt to overwhelm air defenses and terrorize civilians, and Americans should see it for what it is: aggression that threatens the stability of Europe and the free world.
The human cost was immediate and tragic, with reports of multiple deaths, dozens injured, and civilian infrastructure hit — including a cardiology clinic in Kyiv and residential buildings where ordinary families live. Watching hospitals and homes take hits in 2025 should sharpen our resolve rather than dull it; these are not faceless statistics but mothers, fathers and children brutally affected by Putin’s war machine.
Make no mistake: Moscow has deliberately industrialized drone warfare, leaning on Iranian and domestic production to churn out waves of cheap, expendable kamikaze UAVs designed to exhaust Ukrainian defenses. Ukraine’s own intelligence acknowledges limits to the frequency of 500-drone launches, but it does not deny that Russia now has the capability to unleash staggering salvos when it chooses — a capability built on the back of permissive global energy markets and feeble deterrence.
This is part of a months-long campaign of escalating drone strikes that shattered previous records this summer, with thousands of UAVs launched in June alone and multiple nights where hundreds were sent at once. Anyone who thinks the threat will dwindle on its own is living in a fantasy; the Kremlin has shown it will leverage numbers and attrition to grind down defenders unless the West forces a real cost on Russian strategy and suppliers.
Back here at home, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has summoned the nation’s senior military leaders to Quantico for an urgent meeting scheduled for Tuesday, September 30, 2025 — a sign that our own military establishment understands the stakes and the need for clear-eyed action. Whether this gathering is about readiness, new doctrine, or accountability, it must produce real steps: hardened air defenses for Ukraine and NATO, faster deliveries of Patriots and interceptors, and an ironclad plan to choke off the revenue streams that bankroll Putin’s weapons.
Patriots and common-sense conservatives demand more than speeches and symbolic condemnations: Congress must stop playing politics with security funding, the administration must lead a coalition to starve Russia of energy cash, and our allies must quit dithering while brave Ukrainians fight for their homeland. If America is still the indispensable nation, then now is the time to act like it — support frontline partners, bolster deterrence, punish aggressors, and remind tyrants that liberty’s defenders will not be bullied into complacency.
